If a preacher named Robert Toatley were alive today, he would have just come home after at least two days on the road. He would have been tired. His feet would have hurt, and his voice would have been hoarse.
He would have come from Jena, La., after marching for fair justice for all Americans, said his widow, Juanita.

"My husband didn't sit still when there was someone who needed him," Juanita Toatley said Friday. "He would have been in Louisiana, and he would have taken people with him from Rock Hill, too."

After he got home today, if he were alive, Robert Toatley likely would have put on a dark suit and blue tie to go with the snow-white shirt -- because his fraternity was blue and white -- and applauded as three teens just like he was so many years ago found out they had scholarship money to go to college.   more »
